In 2017 we have invested €100k on ecoefficiency measures within the Panuco basin on water recycling initiatives, saving an estimated 35,700 m3 of water per year. Additionally investment of over €200k was spent on the metering, monitoring and targeting programme for water and energy. As part this, one factory within the Panuco river basin achieved Zero Liquid Discharge status. Best Practices have been shared with the manufacturing network. In 2017 Unilever factories in Mexico got all their electricity from renewable sources, reducing water consumption and carbon intensive energy sources and moving to 85% wind and 15% hydro-power.
